Re: Give Me A Break
I feel like my idea is falling on deaf ears. Can I get some support? There is a time and place in a standard payout tournament, regardless of buy-in amount, where it becomes more profitable in the long run to sneak into the money, than to gamble, trying to build a stack to attempt winning, or placing higher. Somebody agree with me.

Re: Give Me A Break
drewjustdrew I agree with you under certain circumstances, just not in anything similiar to the example tourney hand provided by Marbles in the original post. There if you call and win you become a big stack automatically and have an excellent chance to move up in the money.
When circumstances dictate that winning the pot only moves you into the money but still puts you in imminent danger of being blinded out then perhaps circumstances warrant a fold. A good example of this would be when the average stack at a table of 10 players is T100k, the blinds are 500/1000 and there are two short stacks (one is you) with T1600 and the other is to your left with T1200. In this case winning a T2K pot in which you are the big blind will not help you get much farther up the money line so folding your way into the cash probably makes sense. This is not the case in Marbles' example. |
